pick me
I'll do it!
A pick me is someone, usually a woman, who seeks approval or romantic attention by distancing herself from others of her gender, often by disparaging them or claiming to be "not like other girls." The term is dismissive, suggesting the behavior is desperate or performative: She's such a pick me—always talking about how she only has guy friends.
The phrase comes from the implied plea to be chosen or noticed.
